Cillian Murphy gives an incredible portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer with all of his genius, intensity, and subsequent self-reproach after realizing what he unleashed on the world. Not only does Christopher Nolan create an impressive story of scientific achievement but rather splits the entire movie into two different viewpoints:
Fission (In Color): Subjective, chaotic journey directly into Oppenheimer's mind as he unravels the most dangerous secrets of the universe.
Fusion (In Black and White): Objective, clinical approach of political betrayal and the aftermath which leaves Oppenheimer without any sense of pride.
The music score by Ludwig Göransson is a great source of anxiety that builds up to an explosive point where everything will change in this world. The movie "Oppenheimer" leaves you truly shocked both by the size of an explosion and by the realization that even the greatest minds of humanity are able to bring their own destruction.
